OK, word in from the Cleveland Browns that they have talked to the Rams about the top pick in the NFL draft.D’Marco Farr and I are role playing in the office, he being Browns G.M. Tom Heckert, me being Billy Devaney…
Me-
Tom.I’ll move this pick, but I’ll do it reluctantly.Cripes, you’re getting Peyton Manning here.So here’s what we need…
Round 1: No. 7 overall
Round 2: No. 38 overall
Round 3: No. 71 overall
Round 3: No. 85 overall
Round 3: No. 92 overall
Round 4: No. 105 overall
Plus, your left tackle, Joe Thomas
and your return guy, Josh Cribbs.
You get the #1 overall and Alex Barron to play LT.
D’Marco (after some consternation):I can’t give up Thomas.I need Thomas and Bradford
together.I’ll give you those picks, Cribbs and my #1 next year.
Me:Shoot, I need Thomas.I’m giving up an elite quarterback here.I need skill guys, like Thomas and Cribbs.Thomas is a deal breaker.
D’Marco:OK.Have a nice day.I have Adam Schefter on the other line.I’m going to tell him about this.What’s going on there?
Me:We’re good with Bradford.We have no problem going to the Super Bowl in three or four years.Enjoy Jake Delhomme.
